transport systems or the interactions among amino acids for these systems in the ruminant small intestine. In order to increase protein utilization and in turn increase growth, efficiency and production, all aspects of amino acid nutrition of the ruminant should be explored. Experiments were undertaken to determine the amino acid absorption characteristics of three structurally different amino acids at two different intestinal sites. Double re-entrant cannulae were employed to ascertain these characteristics in vivo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
